Easy Strawberry-Spinach Salad

Summer is here and you know what that means. Strawberries are in season.

 

I love me some strawberries, but a person can only eat so much strawberry shortcake. Sometimes we gotta mix things up. And when sweet and savory combine...cha-ching! Our taste buds are in for a treat.

 

Last week I talked about my daughter's bridal shower. And because it was a brunch, I wanted something on the menu that was a little more lunch than breakfast. Since it was an all girl event, salad seemed the perfect thing. And it doesn't get much easier than this.

Here's what you'll need:

• One 10-12 oz package baby spinach
• Half a small red onion, thin sliced
• 1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
• Blue cheese crumbles
• Sliced fresh strawberries
• Your favorite red wine vinaigrette

Toss together the spinach, onion, almonds, strawberries, and blue cheese. Add 1/4 cup of dressing and toss again, adding more dressing as desired.

This looks really impressive served in a pretty bowl. And the only thing better than impressive is impressive, easy, and yummy. And this recipe has it all.

 

Well, the countdown is on. Only 4 more days until the wedding. We're scrambling to get everything cleaned, decorated, and just so. All worker bees--aka family--are in position. We have our assignments. Now it's time to execute.

 

Operation Wedding is under way.

 

Will this mother-of-the-bride survive?

 

Will the bride turn into a bridezilla?

 

Stay tuned for the continuing saga of As the Wedding Approaches.
